So they promised a checker and that turned out to be a version of testdisk that supports BtrFS. Awesome! Not.
Not releasing the code for checker a long time ago was a mistake and waiting only makes it worse. So why isn't there code? Sure people will frag their FS, so what. Tell people it eats babies in flashing red letters for a minute before they use it. BtrFS is not production ready. If some of those users provides a good bug report we will get a working BtrFS a lot sooner.

It'll be out in time for the Oracle release, I can almost guarantee it.
That is good and bad.
Good for us because now we will get to see what happens when people start to use it in large scale production environments.
Bad for Oracle customers, because they will be the ones beta testing it.

Enterprise users have been able to test drive Btrfs since RHEL 6.0 was released. It's tech preview, but it's available.
